Parked at Home: Community
March 10, 2022 @ 7:00 pm
Travel through the sites that make up Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, connecting with national park staff from important sites along the way. Over the course of six virtual chats, we look forward to sharing unexpected connections and tips for finding your park.
The first trip discussion in the “Parked at Home” series is all about communities: how they are made, what makes them thrive, and what happens when they fall apart. For this talk, we will be joined by a staff member from Pullman National Monument.
Thousands of miles separate Pullman, Illinois, and Slatersville, Rhode Island. Though their exact origin stories differ, both these historic sites began as planned industrial communities. What can we learn from their respective founders? How do these parks preserve stories of workers in the United States? Tune in and get an insiders’ view into parks that serve as bookends in America’s industrial story.
All programs are free and hosted online at 7:00 PM EST.
